More on ReZoning
At the next city council meeting, the council is expected to vote on a request by Budslick Management to rezone the old high school track and tennis courts to high density usage, allowing the building of a 72 bed Handicap Living Center on the property. Plans call for the extension of High Street west to allow easier access to the property, which will also increase traffic significantly onto N. Oakland Avenue. This area, except for those organizations occupying the old school buildings, is zoned residential and consists of owner occupied and rental housing.

Just wondering, when you wrote it "will increase traffic signifcantly onto N. Oakland Avenue," do you have any idea what you are talking about? There used to be a high school there and that provided real traffic (for 5 minutes, twice a school day). We are talking about 100 feet of road, just off the main road in town aren't we? When did a 72 bed center become a poor neighbor?
ReplyDeleteGiven a choice between the rental mess around there and the center, wouldn't the center be better? Is the Arbor District thinking someone is going to build high end homes in there or should it just sit empty?
Let me call BS on this, it is a poor argument.
